    What size Wacky rig hooks should i be using?

    When throwing a 5" or 6" Wacky rigged Senko/Stick bait, what size/style hooks do you guys recommend? I use a #1 or 1/0 right now, but wondering if i should be going to maybe a 2/0 Octopus hook. Thanks in advance.

    Any reason why you want to switch? I've been using a 1/0 circle hook for years with no issues. Big bass, little bass, hooks them in the corner of the mouth dang near every time. As soon as i detect the bite i just start steady reeling, couldn't be easier. An added benefit is the circle comes through grass/structure very well.

    I just figured the 1/0 would be too small, for big bass here in florida, thats my reasoning.
